"The goalie played different each shot," Hossa said. "So I didn't know what to do. The best thing is to shoot the puck."

Chicago's Patrick Kane scored on a 5-on-3 power play with 7:27 left in the third period to tie it at 5 and set up overtime.

Datsyuk, Niklas Kronwall and Jiri Hudler scored for Detroit in the first half of the third period to erase a 4-2 Chicago lead and give the Red Wings a 5-4 advantage. Detroit has won four straight and earned points in its last seven games (6-0-1).

"This was a tough game to play in," Hossa said. "Chicago played well, especially in the beginning. We came back strong."

"We played on back-to back nights, so it was good to come back from down 4-2 in the opposition rink," Detroit coach Mike Babcock added.

Johan Franzen also scored for the Red Wings in regulation, but he hobbled off the ice with 6:55 left in the second following a collision at center ice with Chicago's Brent Sopel. Franzen didn't return and apparently sustained a knee injury.

Martin Havlat, Kris Versteeg, Aaron Johnson and Ben Eager also scored in regulation for the Blackhawks in front of a franchise-record, regular-season crowd of 22,690. Chicago has points in its last six (3-0-3).

"We'll take the point, but obviously we're disappointed since we had a two-goal lead," Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville said. "It was a good measuring stick for us.

"We need to be more patient with the puck. "They (the Red Wings) don't need to need much to create with their skill level. They may have improved from being a Cup champion over the summer."

Khabibulin made 39 saves in starting back-to-back games for the first time this season. Detroit's Ty Conklin stopped 36 shots.

Franzen skated to the net and opened the scoring with a power-play goal 1:30 in. Versteeg's power-play score, on a rebound, tied it at 1 with 3:26 left in the first.

Johnson gave Chicago a 2-1 lead 2 minutes into the second. His low shot from the right circle trickled between Conklin's pads and into the net.

Hossa's power-play goal at 8:51 of the second tied it at 2. He ripped in a one-time shot from between the circles after taking Niklas Kronwall's feed.

Havlat restored Chicago's lead, 3-2, just over 3 minutes later. He skated from behind the net and lofted in a backhand shot.

Eager's deflection made it 4-2 with 5:18 left in the second.

Kronwall cut it to 4-3 at 2:07 of the third. Datsyuk tied it just over a minute later, tucking in a feed from Hossa to complete a give-and-go.

With Khabibulin down, Hudler scored into an open net and made it 5-4 at 9:23 of the third after taking Mikael Samuelsson's cross-ice pass.
